Our Role Assisting Insurers in Assessing
Commercial Insurance Claims

As expert accountants, we assist in-house claim advisors and
outside adjusters in the review and settlement of the following claims presented
to the insurance company by their policyholders:

Business interruption claims

Property damage claims

Inventory loss claims

Our review of an individual claim involves the following
steps:

We review the underlying insurance policy.

We meet and interview key individuals at the policyholder e.g
finance, operations.

We review the documentation supporting the claim.

We research current trends in the policyholder's industry.

Based on the interview, the review of the documents and our
research, we prepare a report which analyzes the strength and weaknesses of the
claim and recommends an amount payable by our client.

We assist our client in negotiating the claim.

We recognize that our clients have an ongoing relationship with
their policyholders. Accordingly our goal is to enable our clients to achieve an
amicable and timely settlement of the claim.
